Bolton have parted company with manager Sammy Lee by "mutual consent".

Lee, 48, was promoted from assistant manager in April after the departure of former boss Sam Allardyce.

But he has had a difficult start to the current campaign. Bolton lie second from bottom in the Premier League with just one league win to their credit.

"This has been a difficult decision for all parties but we have agreed the time is right," Bolton chairman Phil Gartside told the club's website.
